Grand Theft Auto V Online Reveal Coming August 15th

During the July 9th Grand Theft Auto Vgameplaytrailer, we saw an uber brief look at the online component. If you recall, it was simply a character standing in a skyscraper, looking out an enormous window at the goings on several hundred feet below him. Distinct player names accompanied the many vehicles scuttling about on the strees of Los Santos. The video ended with an awe inspiring flyby of a fighter jet.

Rockstar is going to give us more details and gameplay this Thursday, August 15th, 2013. Grand Theft Auto V is shaping up to be R*‘s most ambitious installment in the series. We already know about our three protagonists Michael, Franklin, and Trevor from an earlier reveal. We also know that the game will require a large HDD installupon firing it up for the first time. Meaning R* couldn’t cram everything they wanted to offer onto one disc. This may be a small inconvenience, but it’s surely due the the massive amount of content we’ll be offered, as well as the epic size of Los Santos proper.

We’ll have all the meaty details and a full analysis of the Grand Theft Auto V online component after the reveal. Tune in for more this coming Thursday.
